BOLT MOUNTING.

Application filed July 21,

This invention relates to bolt, mountingrs such as are adapted for association With the frames ot sashes, screens vand the like. for the purpose ot holding the trames in elevated positions of adjustment.

The primary object of the invention if: to provide au improved bolt mounting wherein the comptaient portions are eontained within a marginal member of the as soeiated trame and may be readiljj.' inserted into or removed from the member upon the Withdrawal of au exteriorlv aeeessible posi tioning element.

Other objects and advantages not herein speeitically referred to will be appreciated upon an understandingf ot the novel fea tures which characterize the eonstruetion. arrangement and operation of the bolt mounting.

ln order that the invention ma;v be readil v understood. one exemplitviner embwjliment of the same is set forth in the accompanying drawing and in the following detailed de scription based thereon. Obviously7 the invention is susceptible of embodiment in other slightly modified forms. and the partieular embodiment presented is aceord inglv not intended. to restriet the spirit ot the invention short of its intended scope as defined b v the appended claims.

lu the drawing# Fig. 1 is a view ot a corner ot a screen with which the bolt mounting of the invention is associated; and

Fig. 9. is a vertical section on the line QQ oF Fig. 1.

It will be observed in the drawingT that the bolt mounting is contained Within a tubular trame member 10 ot the screen or other object With which associated. and com prises a guide 11 which is positioned within the member 10. a bolt 19. which is slidablv mounted in the guide. a spring 13 which is interposed between the rear end ot the bolt and the rear end ot the guide. a lever 14 which engages with the bolt, and a screvvw pin 15 which tulerums the lever.

The guide 11 is a rectangular tube which is provided at its rear end with a reduced aperture 16 through which a redueed eX- tension 1T of the bolt carrying' the spring 13 slides. The guide is positioned against the outer Wall 18 ot the trame member with its front: end opening` to the adjacent end ot' the same, and is spaced from the inner 1924. Serial No. 727,401.

Wall 19 of the trame member by a Chair neled reintoreement 20.

The bolt. l2 is a rectangular rod which is provided at its rear end with the previousl'v deseribed extension li'. at its front end with a beveled bitchingV portion 21. and intermediate its ends with a transverse slot l2 presenting an abutment 23 against which one end of the lever 14 engaeesf The lever 14 is provided at its upper end with a Curved head 24 for lateral engagement with the abutment 25% of the bolt. at its .lower end with a curved handle 95 for manipulating the bolt and intermediate its ends with :i l'iearing portion 526 'for reeep tion ol the screw-piu 15. The lever is p0Sitioned in a transverse passageway which leads from the inner wall of the frame member to the lguidewav presented bv the guide.

and is formed b v substantially alignedislots QT in the traine member. the reinforcement and the. guide.

The screw-pin l5 is threaded into an aperture QS extending through both the side of the trame member and a web of theI rein forcement. and is provided interiorlv of the trame member with a o vlindrieal portion Q0 ou whieh the lever tulerums.

lVhen the bolt is in the projected position shown in Fig. 1. the lever is in engagement with the rear end of the slot Q7 in the frame n'iember and holds the bolt against further spring-pressed movement trom the `luide. To dissemble the bolt mounting'. the screw piu is first unserevved trom the frame niember. the lever is then Withdrawn trom its pasagewav and the bolt is then Withdrawn from its guidevvav. To assemble the bolt mounting. the bolt is first inserted. the lever is then inserted. and the pin is then screwed into the trarne member.

Then assembled in the manner described. the component portions ot the bolt mount ing;f are positivelyv held in operative relation to eaeh other. and present a Compact. arrangement which is particularly adaptable for use in association with the necessarilyy narronY frame meml'iers ot sashes. screen and the like.

claim 1. ln a bolt mounting. a tubular trame member. a tubular guide positioned in the frame member and provided at its rear end with a eonstrieted aperture. a bolt slidablv mounted in the guide and provided intermediate its ends with a transverse Shoulder and at its rear end with a redueed extension Slidably mounted in the aperture. a helical spring encompassing the extension and aeting between the rear end of the guide and the rear end ot thi` bolt to project the front end ot` the boit `from the guide. a lever passY ing through slots in one wall of the trame member and the guide and provided interiorlv ot the Ytrame member with an end portion tor lat r: l engagement with the. holt and exteriorlv ol. the 'trame member with a handle Jfor oscillating the lever to operate the bolt. and an eXteriorlv accessible pin removably mounted in another wall of the frame in perpendicular relation to the lever 'for tuleruming an intermediate portion ot' the lever. said bolt, spring and lever being removable upon extraction ot' the pin.

2. In a bolt mounting. a tubular trame member. a tubular guide positioned in the Vtra me member against the. outer wall o t the same and provided at its rear end with a constricted aperture` a reinforcement positioned in the trameI member between the inner wall ot' the saine and the guide. a bolt slidably mounted in the guide and provided intermediate its ends with a transverse Shoulder and at its rear end with a reduced extension Slidablv mounted in the aperture. a heliial spring eneompassing the extension and aeting between the rear end ot the guide and the rear end ot the bolt to project. the Vtront, end ot the bolt from theI guide. a lever passing through slots in the inner wall ot the tramo member the reint'oreement and the `guide and provided interiorlv ot the trame member with a Convex end portion `for lateral engagement with the bolt. and exteriorlv ot the 'trame member with a curved handle for oscillating the lever to operate the bolt. and a screwspin removablv mounted iu the trame and provided interiorly ot the same with a c'vlindrieal end portion t'or tulcruming an intermediatt` portion ot the lever.
